You matter.
The healthier your sense of who you are, the less another’s opinion can shake it.
I’m Gerdi van den Berg. I had a long journey before my heart settled into this work, but it was worth every bump and dip. Wisdom is so often gained during the rough rides, in going through the challenges life frequently delivers.
In the end, it can all work for the good and in perfect harmony, setting you up to be who you were always supposed to be. I am here to resonate Creator God’s calling to heal the broken-hearted, and it is the joy of my heart to witness my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, so often at work in us as He heals and transforms, and draws us closer to Him.
My approach is holistic and faith-rooted. We tend to the whole person, the social, the cognitive, and the heart of who you are, with your health and wellbeing held in view, and always grounded in prayer where it’s welcome. The aim is a life of wholeness: a whole heart, from which you can be true to yourself and others without fear.

Experience & ministry
My values
I believe every person has the right to know Him, to know how magnificently they were created, and to choose. May the choice be to know Him and to embrace the identity you have in His love, and then your heart will be at home.
My vision
To be part of the Kingdom of God’s mission: pursuing the broken-hearted, gently and without giving up, until they discover the truth about who they really are.
Dearest Dr Gerdi, I salute you. I just want to give God the glory for what He entrusted to you. It will change generations; you were born for a time like this.
